Appreciation of Ancient Poems See Lushan Waterfall 1 Li Bai has traveled many famous mountains and rivers in his life. He likes the scenery of Lushan Mountain very much. It can be seen from his poems such as "Stay in harmony and wish to leave the world forever" (one of the waterfalls at Lushan Mountain) that he had the idea of retiring from Lushan Mountain in his later years. This poem may be the work of his later years. "Looking at Lushan Waterfall" has two songs, the first one is a five-character ancient style, and the second one is here, which is a seven-character quatrain.
This is a poem about scenery. Li Bai is at the foot of Lushan incense burner peak, enjoying the scenery here from a distance. He first looked from the incense burner peak above, "Rizhao incense burner gives birth to purple smoke", the sun shines on the incense burner peak, and purple smoke rises in the incense burner. Smoke is generally grayish white. Why is the smoke here purple? Because there is a waterfall under the incense burner peak, water vapor transpiration, mixed with cloud gas and sunlight, reflects purple, and from a distance, purple smoke clouds hover around the peak shaped like incense burners. How beautiful the scenery is! It is common for incense burners to smoke. Li Bai used it to describe the wonderful landscape of incense burner peak.
Then look down at Xianglu Peak Waterfall. "Looking at the waterfall before the river", from a distance, a waterfall hangs on the water in front. The most vivid thing here is the word "hang". Waterfall is originally water that suddenly pours down from the mountain wall. From a distance, it looks like a cloth hanging, so it is called a waterfall. The author uses the word "hang" to describe it from top to bottom, which is very vivid. There is a poem "Hanging 300 feet" in the poem "Looking at Lushan Waterfall", which also uses "hanging" to describe Xianglufeng Waterfall.
The third and fourth sentences further describe the waterfall, "flying straight down", which describes the rapid situation of the waterfall rushing straight down from the high mountain wall. "Three thousands of feet" is an exaggerated figure, which, like the above-mentioned "hanging 300 feet", exaggerates the momentum of the waterfall flying down from the extremely high place of the steep mountain wall. The last sentence "Suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days" means that people suspect that the Milky Way has fallen from the extremely high sky. The Milky Way is a silvery white band of light that surrounds the sky on a clear night. It is both spectacular and full of mysterious beauty. This is a natural astronomical wonder. Using the Milky Way to compare waterfalls shows the magnificent wonders of waterfalls, which is really ingenious. When Li Bai used this metaphor, he did not use the word "similar" or "similar", but used the word "suspicious", deliberately saying that it was true or false, and emphasized the realistic degree of similarity between the two.
This poem uses rich imagination, metaphor and exaggeration to show the unique charm of Lushan Waterfall, and also embodies Li Bai's broad-minded and extraordinary spiritual outlook.
Appreciation of the ancient poem "Looking at Lushan Waterfall" 2 Li Bai's poem "Looking at Lushan Waterfall" is a well-known, elegant and well-known poem, which is well known, but it can't be imitated. Lushan Mountain is one of the most famous scenic spots and cultural sites in ancient China. There are immortal caves with "infinite scenery", waterfalls with "wonders of the world", basins in mountains, heaven and earth on peaks, the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake in the distance, which set each other off. All this naturally forms a natural picture with a myriad of weather. Moreover, Lushan Mountain, with its extremely rich historical and cultural accumulation, has become one of the most striking carriers in chinese heritage. Throughout the ages, I don't know how many literati have been inspired by their feelings and racked their brains to write countless poems about their hearts. However, although Li Bai's Looking at Lushan Waterfall is only a small seven-character quatrain, it is the best of many poems.
In the fifteenth year of Tianbao (AD 756), that is, in June of the second year of the Anshi Rebellion, Li Bai came to Lushan Mountain by the Yangtze River from Xuancheng, Anhui Province, and stayed until the end of this year, just to serve Wang Liyong? I spent summer, autumn and winter in Lushan Mountain, and I wrote twenty-four poems.
There are two famous waterfalls at the southern foot of Lushan Mountain, one of which overflows from two peaks in heming and northern Guangxi. The water potential is abundant and the cliff mouth is narrow, and the powerful water flows down the cliff mouth, forming hundreds of strands and spraying down like a ponytail, so it is called "ponytail water". The other one flew down from the eastern foot of Shuangjian Peak, suspended for hundreds of feet, and spilled on thousands of feet, which was spectacular and was called Kaixian Waterfall in ancient times. Look at Lushan Waterfall, which is about Kaixian Waterfall.
The first sentence of the poem, "Purple smoke from the incense burner in Rizhao", seems to be a description of the incense burner peak, which has little to do with the waterfall, but you should know that this poem is not simply about "waterfall", but about the dynamic process of "watching the waterfall", so this seemingly insignificant understatement is actually not idle writing. It tells readers that the waterfall is located on Lushan Mountain and the censer peak is in the northwest of Lushan Mountain. The peak is round and round, and it is like a huge censer all day long, so it is called "censer peak". This sentence also points out the specific time to see the waterfall. Because during the day, the "Rizhao incense burner" can't see the "purple smoke" landscape. Only when the sun has just risen in the east and the golden sunshine shines on the incense burner peak will the haze in the mountain show a rare purple color. The majestic mountain peak looks like an indomitable incense burner from a distance. In the early morning, white fog rises in Ran Ran, which permeates the mountains and rivers in the sky. In the red sun, it turned into a purple cloud. The first line of this poem covers the whole poem with a romantic atmosphere, thus creating an unusual atmosphere for the unusual waterfall. In the second sentence, Li Bai focused on the waterfall in front of the mountain, "looking at the waterfall hanging in front of the river", pointing out that Li Bai was standing at the foot of the mountain looking up. The word "hang" is a static verb. If it is close at hand, it is in the sound and water potential of the waterfall, but it is completely different, just out of touch with the word "Wang" in the title. Only "seeing from a distance", that is, seeing from a distance, will never stop at that moment and jump forever, and the waterfall accompanied by the sound of water will quietly "hang" on the mountain in front, such as Chihiro, hanging in front of the mountain, which is also Li Bai's first feeling of seeing the waterfall. The first two sentences of this poem have a carefully arranged dynamic and static contrast. Looking around, the mountain color of the incense burner peak has not changed much, but Li Bai insisted on moving it, so he chose the word "Sheng" to reflect the charming color of the incense burner peak in detail in the early morning sunshine. But Li Bai insisted on using the word "hanging" to make the waterfall quiet. This unconventional writing style makes the two poems he wrote different from the scenery anywhere and at any time, but only belong to the "Lushan Waterfall" on a sunny morning. The seemingly ordinary words and expressions contain the author's careful conception and ingenious organization.
The first half of the poem is objective reality, but the second half is changed into the most exaggerated metaphor and the strangest imagination, which is also the biggest feature of Li Bai's romantic style. Whether it is long or short, it is easy to master and use. Indeed, whenever people appreciate the waterfalls in the Alps, they will inevitably be deeply moved, not to mention Li Taibai, whose heart is always beating with passion. He has innate telepathy and communication with this magnificent landscape, and will not stop to rush forward (downward) anyway. Therefore, the "Lushan Waterfall" written by Li Bai is "flying down three thousands of feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way has set for nine days." This is wonderful and original beyond any imagination of Li Bai. I really want to write something that others can't think of and dare not write. "Flying Down" is a true story, which includes the speed, flow and direction of the waterfall, and shows people the infinite dynamics of the waterfall. The word "flying" is just right to describe the jumping situation of alpine waterfalls. The word "straight down" not only shows the height of the mountain, but also shows the urgency of the waterfall. The sky is straight down and unstoppable, such as before. "Three thousands of feet" is a pen that arouses people's imagination, because everyone knows that it is not a true expression of the length of the waterfall. On the contrary, it will be considered that "flying down to thousands of feet" is the best description of Lushan Waterfall. It gives us a unique sense of movement, arrogance, arrogance, courage and no hesitation. This can be regarded as a materialized portrayal of Li Bai's character and nature. Isn't he such a proud man, a fairy in the sky? The last sentence is the essence of the whole poem. Without this sentence, the poem "Looking at Lushan Waterfall" may not be so popular and known throughout the ages. The Milky Way is made up of countless stars across the sky. It was originally a romantic word in people's imagination, because each star is 108 thousand miles apart. However, since the word appeared, who thought of using the beautiful word "Galaxy" given by human beings to compare the real natural landscape on the earth? Not only so bold, but also so accurate. When no one is using it, no one will think of the similarities between the milky way and the waterfall. But when Li Bai put pen to paper, it became an indispensable eternal swan song! He turned the Milky Way into a horizontal flip, from horizontal to vertical, from "nine days" to "Lushan Mountain", but the charm remains the same. No matter where it is, it gives people a romantic imagination and endless charm. Is this the metaphor of "the Milky Way" for "Lushan Waterfall"? Of course, I'm afraid there is no more appropriate metaphor, but can you say that this is not the infinite water of the "Milky Way" in the sky and the "waterfall" in Lushan Mountain, but Chen Xian used it to water his talents? In addition, due to the use of the word "doubt is", the whole poem is more and more covered with a trance, real and illusory artistic color.
Since the publication of Li Bai's Poems on Lushan Mountain, many Li Bai still described Lushan Mountain as the object, but few people devoted themselves to the study of Lushan Waterfall. This is not difficult to predict. If someone really writes the same theme again, it takes a lot of courage, but there is really a Li Bai who doesn't care about Li Bai's reputation and writes it correctly. This is a poem of Lushan Waterfall by Xu Ning in the middle Tang Dynasty. The full text of Xu is as follows: "Vanity falls into a thousand springs." "As long as flying in vain, a boundary breaks the green hills." Compared with Li Bai's poems, it is indeed much worse. However, the couplets of "eternal practice flies like white, and a broken castle peak" have been praised and criticized by later generations, especially by Zhang Hu. But Su Shi, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, hated this. He also wrote a poem, "The Emperor sent the Milky Way down, and there is an immortal saying in ancient times." "I don't want to wash my bad poems with Xu Ning because I know how much I spilled." To be fair, Xu Ning's poems are "evil poems". Although it is a "joke", Su Shi is a little overkill, but he thinks that Li Taibai's "Looking at Lushan Waterfall" is "an ancient genius", and no one disagrees.
Appreciation of the ancient poem "Looking at Lushan Waterfall" 3 This is a landscape poem written by Li Bai when he was about fifty years old and lived in seclusion in Lushan. This poem vividly depicts the magnificent scenery of Lushan Waterfall and reflects Li Bai's infinite love for the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. The first sentence is "Purple smoke from the Rizhao incense burner". "Incense burner" refers to the incense burner peak of Lushan Mountain. This peak is in the northwest of Lushan Mountain, with a sharp and round shape, like a censer. Because of the waterfall, water vapor transpiration, in the bright sunshine, as if there is an indomitable spirit incense burner, purple smoke rises in Ran Ran. A word "health" vividly describes the scene of smoke rising. This sentence set a magnificent background for the waterfall, and also rendered the atmosphere for the following direct description of the waterfall.
The second sentence is "overlooking a thousand waterfalls in Sichuan". The word "overlooking the waterfall" takes care of the title "overlooking the Lushan waterfall". "Hanging thousands of rivers" means that the waterfall is like a huge white practice, hanging straight from the cliff to the river ahead. The word "hang" changed from dynamic to static, and Visha wrote about the waterfall in the distance.
The first two sentences of the poem outline a panoramic view from the big picture: purple smoke fills the air at the top of the mountain, white practice hangs in the mountain, and rapids rush down the mountain, forming a magnificent picture.
The third sentence "Flying down three thousands of feet" is a detailed description of the waterfall at close range. "Flying Flow" shows that waterfalls come out in the air and spew out. "Straight down" not only describes the steepness of the rock wall, but also describes the rapidity of the water flow. "Three thousands of feet" is an exaggeration, describing the towering mountains.
In this way, Li Bai felt that the majestic momentum of the waterfall had not been fully displayed, so he went on to write a sentence, "It is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days." It is said that this waterfall "flew down", which makes people suspect that the Milky Way poured down from nine days. A "doubt" is ethereal and lively. If it is true, it makes people daydream, which adds to the magical color of the waterfall.
This poem is very successful in metaphor, exaggeration and imagination, with unique conception, vivid language and bright washing. Su Dongpo appreciates this poem very much, saying that "the emperor sent the Milky Way to fall into the pulse, and there were fallen immortals in ancient times." The "immortal" is Li Bai. Looking at Lushan Waterfall is indeed an example of body description and lyricism.
